1982 XJ650 Maxim Project

New to this forum; any help much appreciated:

1) Oil drain plug stuck (19mm). Any tricks? Been spraying it with PB B'laster numerous times, letting it soak overnight. Heat?

2) K&N high-performance oil filter stuck. Also spraying with PB B'laster. Good idea to replace with stock filter cover?

3) Battery low on fluid. Worth trying to refill? Best way? (Interstate brand, not too old.)

4) Ding in rear wheel rim; may be allowing air to leak out. Fixable? Best approach?

Thanks . .

 

Oil drain= You can try banging on it with a hammer and eye protection of course,if you have compress air and a air hammer seem's to works the best and is fast with a round headed bit or by hand is also a option.Be careful !!!
Air filter= I use the stock filters.
Battery=Yes,you don't want the plates exposed to air just fill above the plates.
Ding= you will need or should remove the tire and can try banging it out with a large hammer and a piece of wood or really big mallet.

 

Used wheels are cheap$30-40, it’s should be replaced.
